The Bittersweet love of Randolph K. Mackinnon is John Makinson’s second volume of poetry. It is a lovers’ tale told through a series of poems. Beginning with a honeymoon and ending in tragedy, it is the story of a modern marriage. Both a book of poetry and a novella – related mainly from the male perspective, but occasionally from the female – the poems are intelligent, witty, often erotic, and ultimately poignant.
